Social Credit (China and Abroad; Public and Private): Index of Posts

(Pix © Larry Catá Backer 2017)

I have started thinking through the issues around social credit generally, and the Chinese Social Credit project. I will be working through the issues and practices that are presented by the emergence of Social Credit theory--both in China (as an indigenous and quite complex set of policies, advances on political theory, and operational challenges), and in the rest of the world. To understand the shaping of law today (and soft law as well) one must understand social credit. To understand social credit, one must understand the evolving structures of the relationships, in law and politics, of the relationships between states, its masses, and the institutions through which it operates.

This post includes an index (chronological) of the Social Credit postings to Law at the End of the Day.
